Air conditioning repair in Old Hawkinge
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that does not fix it, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us. You will hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are new noises from the system and a unit that barely blows any air.
In a village like Old Hawkinge, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Give the outdoor unit space. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain, and debris can get into the fan.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Old Hawkinge, including Church of St. Michael (grade I). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.

FAQs for Old Hawkinge
Do you cover smaller places like Old Hawkinge?
Yes. Old Hawkinge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Old Hawkinge?
It can. Old Hawkinge is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What does an air con repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Do you offer an emergency repair service?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code, and we will agree the next steps with you.
